Detect skipped test in @afterMethod with testng

I found a way of doing it by Implementing the ITestListener class you can find an example there :

https://github.com/khmarbaise/testng-example/blob/41861115eb0ea1d98eed97fcfeb7ff30e93e0925/src/test/java/com/soebes/testing/testng/IntegrationTestListener.java

basically what you do is creating a class that will catch all your ITestResult even the skipped one and redefine inside it what you want to do like that :

public class IntegrationTestListener implements ITestListener { public void onTestSkipped(ITestResult result) { // do your stuff here } } 

and to use it in your test do it like that :

@Listeners ({IntegrationTestListener.class}) public class NotAScenario extends BasicScenario { @Test public void test1() { } } 

For the @AfterMethod, when we know that the test has definitely run (thus not ITestResult.STARTED), there is a simple solution (tested and it works):

@AfterMethod(alwaysRun = true ) public void doStuff(ITestResult result){ Integer status = result.getStatus(); if(!status.equals(ITestResult.SUCCESS) || !status.equals(ITestResult.FAILURE) ) { // do stuff } } 

Much cleaner for some cases where you don't want to implement all of the methods in ITestListener

This worked for me:

@AfterMethod public void afterMethod(ITestContext context) { System.out.println("Skips: " + context.getSkippedTests().size()); } 

In testng, if a test case is skipped, then @AfterMethod would not be called, as the test case has not been executed. @AfterMethod will get executed only when the test case is executed.

Hope this helps.

kartik is correct, u can not get it through after method, but in report u will find the skipped test case.

but if u want to get the skipped test cases, u can add soft dependacies here like : @Test(alwaysRun = true, dependsOnMethods = { "method" })

This creates a soft dependency, i.e. the annotated test should be executed even if the tests it depends on failed/threw an exception and it will invoke in after method.

You can capture skip tests by doing the following:

 public void afterMethod(ITestResult result) throws Exception { if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SKIP) { //Some code }
